Thanks to Girish Kale (@girishkalephd.bsky.social) for reporting on our joint developmental biology meeting in Potsdam #GfE2026 #GfESEBDDSDB2026. enjoy the read: thenode.biologists.com/meeting-repo...
looking forward to seeing you and @the-node.bsky.social at #GfE2028
An analysis of published papers on eight widely studied “model” organisms suggests work on them is fading, but not everyone is worried. https://scim.ag/3PaOvIs
Andreas Wodarz warmheartedly introduces Elisabeth Knust, the winner of the Klaus Sander Award of #GfE2026 for her lifetime achievements in devbio. Her groundbreaking scientific research contributed to elucidating molecular & cellular mechanisms underlying development of epithelial cell polarity.
That's it: #GfE2026 #GfESEBDDSDB2026 is over. Thanks for the science, talks, posters, chairing, discussions, helpers in back & front. See you latest at #GfE2028 for more #DevBio & oidsks for all the fish, plants, mice, worm, flies, frogs, squids, brown algae, human, -oids, whatnots and you.
Pupae and pupal gut in wt and Mmp2-knockdown
New paper from @uwe689.bsky.social !
Muscle and #ECM remodeling during fly metamorphosis is still poorly understood. Why? Pupae are really hard to work with.
Uwe took on the challenge and explored how Mmp2 contributes to this amazing morphogenetic process.

The Hilde Mangold Prize of the German Society for Developmental Biology is awarded to Maik Bischoff (@maikbischoff.bsky.social) at #GfE2026 for his research on "Mesenchymal sculpting as a driver of chiral organ development" in Drosophila.
And now: Poster flash talks at #gfe2026 by Jorge Mañes-García (from @cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social), Benjamin Knüppel (from @bogdanlab.bsky.social), Isabel Pérez-Ferrer (from @eloisaherrera.bsky.social), Payel Banerjee (from @unipotsdam.bsky.social), and Katrin Domsch (@katrin-domsch.bsky.social)
joint meeting of the German, Spanish and dutch societies for developmental biology 2026
it’s already … tomorrow?!
Who is heading to #gfe2026 in Potsdam? Looking forward to seeing you all and to discuss your science. #devbio
I am so happy to see you next week and listen to you talk 😎

Summary 🧵 below.
Great news! The next JEDI #Drosophila conference is now officially @embo.org funded! We are more than grateful for the support!
🚨 The deadline has been extended until January 31st!🚨
New preprint from the @wittbrodtlab.bsky.social. The group developed an "infinity pool" setup to test visual acuity and swimming behavior in medaka.

Yay! 🎉
Pseudotime trajectory created with Monocle3 of WT and tumor follicle cells labeled by pseudotime.
Here is a tiny glimpse into our recent work: a #pseudotime analysis of wildtype and tumorigenic #Drosophila follicle epithelial cells using #Monocle3. Seeing a bioinformatic prediction that supports our in vivo findings is always my favorite part of the day!
Join us to study developmental cell biology with a focus on cell migration and morphogenesis.

Figure from the preprint showing sensory neuron morphology with different levels of Cas9 expression.
High levels of Cas9 are toxic in sensory neurons. Reducing Cas9 levels with uORFs avoids toxicity and is compatible with efficient editing. From @thompsonpeerlab.bsky.social. Fly lines @vdrc-flies.bsky.social
